Study Set Content:
Also known as dictyosome; Golgi apparatus – collective term for Golgi body
Golgi Body
process and package macromolecules and are particularly important in the processing of proteins for secretion
Golgi Body
Described as "cellular power plants or powerhouse" because they generate most of the cell's supply of ATP, used as a source of chemical energy
Mitochondria
Mitochondria
Signaling
cellular differentiation
cell death
control of the cell cycle
cell growth
function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself
Lysosomes
originally were defined as organelles that carry out oxidation reactions leading to the production of hydrogen peroxide. Because hydrogen peroxide is harmful to the cell, peroxisomes also contain the enzyme catalase, which decomposes hydrogen peroxide either by converting it to water or by using it to oxidize another organic compound.
Peroxisomes
Short hair-like projections
Cilia
Used for movement
Cilia
Long whip-like tail
Flagella
Location: outside of cell
Cilia
Used for movement
Flagella
Location outside of the cell
Flagella
– Traps sun’s energy and makes food
Chloroplast
Protects and supports the plant cell
Cell wall
– Location: in plant cells
Chloroplast
Composed mainly of cellulose
Cell wall
Prevents water loss
Cell wall
Location: outer layer of plant cells
Cell wall
is any molecule that is present in living organisms, including large macromolecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as small molecules such as primary metabolites, secondary metabolites, and natural products.
Biomolecule
: basic building blocks; repeating units that make up the biomolecules
Monomers
